It's not like he's going to get Linux if he's going to play games.
Also, just fixing your computer like snap when you've messed it up like that is hard. I'd suggest getting a computer check-up at the nearest computer shop that does that. Try getting recommendations first, so you don't go to a "scam-shop".
If you'd like to try to fix your computer yourself, then these steps might help:
• Go get a good Anti Virus (
AVG). Then run it.
• Go get
CCleaner. Then just check all things not browser related in the first tab. Then let it run. Now you'll unclog a bunch of space on your computer. Then do the registry cleaning, it's amazing.
• Then go get a defraggler. (
Defraggler)
All these three programs might take a lot of time to do their thing, but when they're done your computer should run faster.
The only thing you can do with the battery is either "train it" or buy a new one.
[EDIT] When previous steps have been made you should try to update all your drivers. This will probably make them work.
Also try a new browser if you feel that your internerdz are slow. Chrome is really lightweight and fast. (Using now on a 2 year old Vista Home Basic Laptop.)
